Onewheel style snowboard

@sirgu Sure looks fun! Still gonna be a problem offroad or traffic bumps over 2".
Aka "Vommbat"
-
@maciak To put that in comparision .. gotta love this climb-over-anything ability of that Vendetta thingy. Although we do not know how many shots it took to accomplish such clip.
On the other hand, with all that complexity 'n details, it must have taken ages to maintain this stuff after each trail ride. -
@sirgu 🤣🤣 did not even know such thing existed! Pretty amazing.
-
@sirgu That Vendetta looks pretty cool. I think it might need a little refinement, but if it can be made as durable as a OW, a lot of people would probably like it. Personally, I would miss the carvability of the OW.
-
@lia This is interesting, 3 wheels though. Looks like the builder went through many prototypes.

If I lived somewhere flat maybe

Lol. He pulls his first make prototypes out of wild bushes like these are nothing. X]
-
@sirgu I'm still try to figure out how the steering works, lots of monkey motion going on.
-
it doesn't turn like a onewheel or a snowboard with that mod. Maybe if wheel was between the feet.

(Not gonna make new topic. Hope following fits in here.)

@sirgu Haha! Lots ot work went into that build. Looks like hoverboard electronics.
-
@sirgu That is totally ridiculous, and I love every second of it.
-
@sirgu that has to be fake
Like, no way that tiny-ass motor from the hoverboard is moving a wheel that big
Right..?!ouh nouh
113 volts?! I could lick that!

@lemur reminds me of this:

Well, it is not.
If you pause at 3:11 and take this sequence of numbers (under green sticker) you might get a chance for googling the motor-hub used there. Some YT comments below find it's an eBike drive motor. Don't know ... but you can check the hoverboards motor at 0:25 for comparison.Personally, I really didn't paid in-depth attention on details at first place as it's obviously 'fun-project' not to be taken too seriously. There are bunch of questionabilities other than motor power.
-
@sirgu Oh wow I didn't even notice, well spotted! I thought when watching this there is no way that hardware is working with this. That sneaky motor swap at least explains part of it lol.
Personally I'd love to see someone actually make a decent Monsterwheel. As fun as "I took X product and changed the frame" is I'd honestly love to see a maximum effort big wheeled board with the hardware to match the scale and no compromise on features like actual footpads and a sensible means to mount it.
The XS exists at 1/2 scale, so whose gonna finally make the XL at 2x scale.

Really, I haven't seen the video! ;) Of course, you'll need to find a little person to ride it (I didn't want to imply anything, LOL).

Sonny [at Sonnywheels] have yet recently built his own 13" 'MonsterWheel' or 'BeastWheel' build.

Plenty of you know he has done 13" turf-tire mod before ... was it like on V1 or Plus. This time some advanced custom rails 'n stuff featured. Personally I like his innovations. -
Well .. the following fits better HERE than into sub-topic of Other 'FLOAT' prototype devices
Ungoverned Vendetta -- the all-terrain 'tank track'snowboard-ish vehicle, that also got introduced here a ~year ago -- has meanwhile got into point where prototype/demo-board is forming into customer product.
Worth watching their recent videos of their channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@UNGOVERNEDPtyLtd
And Vendetta's SPECS 'n details:
https://ungoverned.com.au/
... aand, UPGRADES/SPARES:
https://ungoverned.com.au/pages/2023-vendetta-inclusionsPersonally did not understand why snowboard (nose-) attachment is not listed whilst 'Ski attachment' is. But yeah, as always -- love the innovation!
And by now .. as specualtions for price were much higher before .. this ~4k euros for best retail option is actually LESS than 2x OW+ XR price when these were first launched in EU market. Yet still a pricey "toy" (with all it's complexity and maintainance) but I can see why.
